Characterization of indigenous fat-tailed and fat-rumped hair sheep in Kenya: diversity in blood proteins.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Nov 2002

Mwacharo J M, Otieno C J, Okeyo A M, Aman R A

Abstract excerpt

This paper reports the variation in five blood proteins from five populations of sheep found in Kenya. Blood samples were collected from a total of 309 adult sheep of both sexes in Kwale, Makueni and Kakamega districts for the fat-tailed sheep and in Isiolo district for the fat-rumped hair sheep. Fine-wooled Merino sheep were used in this study as the reference population. Transferrin, esterase-A and esterase-C...
